    Young leghorn with eye/inflamed sinus

    She's 4 to 5 months old. I noticed this shortly after I got her a couple weeks ago and she was getting pecked by others. I also thought of cleaning out the coop which hadn't been done in quite a while. Lot to clean up! The guy I got her from told me to put warm saltwater in her eye before I...

    ⠀ How long until you'd eat the eggs after they ate tin foil?

    Pretty sure my pullets ate the tin foil that was covering the water bucket 6 days ago. Long story! Anyway, how long until you'd eat the eggs after they ate tin foil? We haven't eaten any since then.

    Piece of meat in my egg??

    and What the heck??? It's like the end tip of a chicken wing. I never know what I'm going to get when I crack open one of my girls' eggs! Anyone ever experienced this before? And no, we don't have a rooster.

    Sick hen--Eggbound?

    Well one of my hens is off in the corner, mouth is constantly wide open, tail is down and bottom butt is pulsating. She's not interested in food. Should I just wait it out or what? I couldn't feel any egg. Thanks, Rob

    My hen laid a shell-less gold egg today!

    Here's what it looked like before I ate it: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=764803241697&set=a.550845859007.2077311.68603109&type=1&theater. Here's the inside egg and membrane: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=764814464207&set=a.550845859007.2077311.68603109&type=1&theater.

    White egg from a Rhode Island Red?

    http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=764639110617&set=a.550845859007.2077311.68603109&type=1&theater Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what could be the cause? I just compared it to a store bought white egg, and mine is obviously more of a cream color.

    Cats for mice

    These may be dumb questions. I've never had a cat before and I never thought I'd say I want one, but I've killed a lot of mice the past couple weeks, and I'm thinking an *outdoor* cat would save me a lot of time. Will just any ol' cat do and will the cat try eating my chickens that are in a...

    Praise the Lord! 1st Egg This Morning!

    Today is a great day! We just got our 1st egg! Not bad for a first one. Our RIR hens just turned 19 weeks yesterday. The lucky hen started her egg song this morning, so we thought this could be the day, and sure enough it was! It was even more special having my wife's mom and my wife's sister...

    How long until they start getting along?

    So I just bought and added a couple hens to the 3 I already have. Same breed, and about the same age (new ones may be a week or 2 younger--the ones I originally have will be 17 weeks tomorrow). They've been separated since Saturday afternoon, but Monday evening I put them altogether in a big...

    Do I have a rooster after all?

    http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=750220036557&set=a.550845859007.2077311.68603109&type=1&theater&notif_t=photo_comment This was just taken today. I've got 4 Rhode Island Reds, and I'm really starting to wonder if I've got a rooster or not. "She" looks like one, but doesn't have spurs...
